WEEKEND CIGARETTES Release Brand New Video ‘Over The Lies’

“Over The Lies” is a brand new video clip from WEEKEND CIGARETTES, taken from their latest masterpiece “The Chosen One”.

The Band says “The lyrics of the last album were written two years ago, inspired by other circumstances no less serious than the current ones. We are witnessing mass punishment banned by international law that has nothing humane. The only hope is for this massacre to end. The best way is to bite the bullet and show humanity, beyond polarization, beyond lies.”

The band was born from an idea of Daniele (Deep Throat) and Alessandro (Married with children – Oasis Tribute) to restore the California punk rock current of the 1990s. From Nofx to Bad Religion and from No use for a name to Sweden’s Millencolin.

The band, formed in March 2015 with the arrival of Francesco Santo (Nevermind – Nirvana Tribute), was initially composed of three elements, but with the arrival of Matteo Zecchin (Deep Throat) in December 2015, the group takes on an increasingly sharper and more compact image, resulting in
Weekend Cigarettes. In December 2016, their first EP “Eureka” was released. 5 tracks of pure punk
rock.

Thanks to “Eureka!”, an album particularly critical of today’s society, allowed the to organize gigs and get interviews on regional radio stations such as “Radio Alba” and “Radio” and “Radio Gold”. Throughout 2018 the band locked themselves in la sala to bring their first LP to life. Between December 2018 and January 2019 they turned again to Music Ink in Arona (NO) to record their first album, and thanks to Federico Pennazzato they managed to give rigidity and fluidity to the pieces.

Unfortunately, the band, given the complexity of playing in the province and region, had a moment of ups and downs and after the exit of guitarist Matteo Zecchin in June 2019, here comes Giacomo Dito, a young and promising guitarist from Alessandria immediately nicknamed “Dito” by the band. The first LP, How Do You Feel, released in November 2019, contains all the emotions and feelings of our childhood until today. The images fade away but the thought always remains intact in the mind.

Although the covido interrupted the show for the whole of 2020, the band still managed not to extinguish the fire that had been released. In September they participated in Sanremo Rock, where they performed for the first time at the Ariston, and in late October they shared an evening with Australian group The Rumjacks.

The year 2021 was mainly a year of music composition; a new album was released in March 2023. The title “The Chosen One.” All songs were produced by Biagio Totaro, singer and guitarist of Last Day Before Holiday and Black Hole Dream, while level distribution is handled by RocketMan Records (Punk Rock label from Milan).
